So, I met my host family last nite. It´s kinda like a OTH of sorts. My mom- Eugina is divorced. Has 3 kids and one adopted daughter who is 11. The adopted daughter is actaully Eugina´s sister in law. And the rest of my kids aunt. It´s Eugina´s ex-husbands siste, who´s mom died. They watch tv 24-7, Friolita is there fav. So lots of people live there. Her sister is mute and then her freind stays there as well. Cori is another homestay who leaves Wednesday. She provided me with lots of helpful info and an outlet to talk. Without her I would have been in my room all night. My family doesn´t eat much meat..this is gonna suck!I need interaction so I might be out a lot and not with my family since they dont talk really. When we met our host families there was this adorable girl she was 6 or 7 and absolutely beautiful. I wish she was my sister. Cameron got the family that babysits her, apparently his family thought we were engaged I heard this morning from everyone. They asked how many kids we had or something? Kinda wierd- someone said they think if your with a man alone it means your a couple but I have not been with him alone so I dont get it. My favorite term- I dont get it. I will be using that a lot. Today we had a lecture on women and gender in Monteverde . I forgot they don´t allow abortion or other things like that in different countries. Tomorrow we are going to San Luis to the waterfalls. Tonight we are going out! OOOH so that Italian I met on the plane...came to Monteverde. I got a call today on the Institute phone and I´m like aww my dad really always finds me even when he´s in China....to my surprise the guy from the plane tracked me down and called me and came and wants to hang out....wierd. Two phone calls in weird places- I´m gonna be known as the girl who gets tracked down and called no matter where we are.....ok we´re outtie going to the school and municipal building. Surprise We are walking.
